WORD ABOUT THE PRINTING SITUATION It is very necessary to infoim our readers that owing to disturbed con ditions in the printing trade, some dif ficulty may lie experienced in getting out The Monitor on time. Before things are adjusted it may be neces sary to curtail the amount of news published each week. Special articles may have to be held over. There is to be a general strike May 1st. Our own printers, the Waters-Barnhart Print ing Company, have been the first large firm in the city to take drastic action in anticipation of this strike. The cost of publication is now almost pro hibitive and the demand for an in ci-ease in wage spells disaster to pub lications if granted. It is believed that within the next sixty days nor malcy with justice to all will be se cured.
